RE: [RC] [RC] Horse Identification - terry banister

Yes, I've had the liquid nitrogen acne treatment and it is COLD. But no damage was done to my skin or to the horse's skin. It is only for a matter of seconds and just affects the hair follicles enough to kill the pigment. There was no wound or soreness afterward. Nothing visible to "heal."

But I wasn't disagreeing with the need for a large phone number on the animal for emergency ID. The freeze mark is more for identity verification and theft prevention after they are in a holding pen situation.  I was supplying the information to those who might have interest in having it done for their horses because it is visible, cannot be altered and needs no special equipment to read it, such as microchips do.

 Happy Trails!

Terry
